Your Quirks?

[Jason_12]

I was laughing at my mum the other day when she accidently dropped a freshly washed bed sheet on the floor. She had to go and immediately wash it again because it now had "germs all over it".
Before I could laugh too loudly she reminded me that I refuse to eat any grapes that have fallen off their stems in a fruit bowl, and that I won't ever wear coloured socks, (plain white all the way for me), and that I always blink 40 times whenever I see that stupid 40 winks ad on T.V.
Which got me thinking about all the stupid quirky things that people do.
So be honest. What are yours?

hard question that as people as a rule of thumb don't notice their own quirks. you usually have to be told.

so in that, i couldn't tell any write now. but on the socks thigns you'll hardly ever find me in a pair of matching socks. but that's usually just cause i'm too lazy to find the other pair.

When my children were babies, I would check them 20 times a night. It would drive me insane. I would just lay there and think are they breathing, are they breathing. I would then go and listen to the breathing or move them. It would invariably wake them up and Mrs EssJayW would go off her nut. I would then go back to sleep until it was quiet again.

That's not a quirk - that's bloody common supposedly

Apart from a raging case of "foot in mouth disease" I couldn't tell you.
Probably the only real one I have is that every time I enter a room I have to turn the light switch on and off 40 times otherwise my family will die.

What, for the hubby to wake up the kid then go back to sleep?

No you are quite healthy.

Cheers EssJay! Excuse me now, I have to go into the next rom for something. I'll be back in 10. What can I say, it's a difficult switch.

Other than my OCD, which I think is under control. Well the doctor says it is, my wife says it isnt, my kids agree I hope, and everyone who knows me says I am fine and pats me on the back and says I am doing well but sometimes I think they are having me on and making fun of me but I know that I am good so I dont care what they say but it is going well but sometimes I think people are staring at me and laughing behind my back but they have the problem not me they are laughing at themselves and are jealous because I am feeling better and they dont want me to.

40 blinks = 80 winks!

You've been doing twice as many winks as you need to all these years!!!

 

[Runk]

Okay I'm back, what's going on?
AAARRRGGGHH!!!! I just entered the room and forgot something. Excuse me.
For the love of GOD let them be okay!

 

[Disgustipated]

Ive gotta have some sort of reading material whilst sitting on the dunny.

 

[TigerCraig]

With you on that one

Also I am unable to orgasm until my partner has done so 10 or 12 times

 

[TigerCraig]

I also lie about my sexual prowess

I'd never have guessed!

 

[Joel]

For some stupid reason, I find myself closing one of my eyes when I'm brushing my teeth. It's as if I have to focus with the one eye or something. Bloody wierd, and my girlfriend always picks me up on it.

To try and impress BB666?

 

[GoalsFrom50Out]

Always fix an obvious typo on MSN/here/anywhere.





I bet I spelled something wrong in this post

 

[Nic]

Me too. Always try to edit it in the next minute so I don't get one of those little 'this post has been edited ... ' messages.

My biggest quirk probably has to do with food. When I am eating something that is supposed to be served 'hot', I have to damn well eat it HOT! Basically, out of the oven and into my stomach, I cannot stand luke warm food.

Yeah, me too. Can't stand chips from the chip shop that have been re-heated. NASTY!

I can't think of any I have, but my flatmate has the most annoying quirk I have ever seen... she eats her food from the outside in. Example: If she eats a sausage roll, she will eat all of the pastery before she eats the meat. I get so frustrated watching her eat.. JUST TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE BLOODY THING!!

I do that too Skip. I woulda thought it was normal. I woke my 5yo up twice last night. The baby sleeps like, well, a baby.

I don't think there's any need for shouting and potty mouth. Maybe she can't help it!! Did you ever think of that?? Maybe she WISHES she could eat normally but just can't. I think your support right now would be much more productive to her therapy than belittling her on an internet bulletin board.

Oh, and by the way - I eat my sausage rolls from the outside in. Actually, I can't put any 2 foods in my mouth at the same time. I don't even really like different types of food touching on my plate.

I make sure that everything is locked at night. Security is a big issue with me.

Whenever my niece and nephew are over and they need a sleep or they just want to play. I make sure that the play room is ready for them to play in.
